Wellness and truffle
Not just luxury food.....
The truffle can easily become a dish doctor, helping against depression, aging and skin problems. First, the antidepressant effect.
For experts, consuming the precious tuber causes the release of endorphins, capable of improving mood and having a global positive effect.
Aging and skin problems are among the primary targets of truffle therapy.
The truffle also compensates for its nutritional benefits with important properties: iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, zinc, phosphorus, as well as particular vitamins, such as Vitamin C, Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6.
To correctly appreciate the nutritional value of this precious tuber we must also consider its important protein load, it is no coincidence that it is defined by some as "vegetable meat", and the significant amount of fibre: the first important element in any diet, even for those who choose a vegetarian diet and therefore devoid of proteins of direct animal origin, the latter being essential for a correct intestinal balance and able to give a pleasant sense of satiety, this last aspect also being an important aspect in any diet.
It should also be highlighted how the high quantity of mineral salts contained in the truffle derives precisely from the way in which it is "born", its location in fact allows direct absorption from the ground, in particular we find:
- potassium, capable of regulating the functioning of cells, heart rate and muscle tone;
- calcium, notoriously an important aid for the health of bones and teeth;
- phosphorus, a support for the benefit of memory.
Other elements of attention for the benefit of Ns. precious protagonist are the antioxidant properties, useful for blocking free radicals and limiting aging, the elasticising properties and the low fat content, the latter aspect of importance for those who follow a low-calorie diet.
Finally, but no less important for many, let us finally point out the aphrodisiac characteristics of the truffle, an ancient popular belief that today seems to be confirmed by some studies, as among the components, discrete quantities of pheromones, a substance similar to testosterone, seem to have been identified.
In other words, a natural product, rich in substances useful for the well-being of our body and with a booster for our mood.
Have a good relax.....stay tuned!!!
